Video Transcript for Optronics Accessories and Parts A70GB Review

Today we'll be reviewing part number A70GB. This is the Optronics Rubber Grommet for 6 1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights. It is designed for flush mounting those lights. It's going to provide shock protection. This is going to extend the life of your lamp. It's going to feature that open back design that's going to give easy access for wiring.

This does require a 3 wire plug along with the lights to complete installation. Those are going to be sold separately. Couple different plugs that we would recommend is part number A45PB or A47PB. Let's go over the dimensions of the grommet. It's going to give us an overall length of 7 5/8 of an inch. Overall width of 3 3/8 and then an overall depth of 1 1/8.

That's really easy to install, a light I have in right here for our demonstration. Once you have your 6 1/2 inch over light, all you got to do is place it through the grommet. Then just push it into place. The grommet comes up over the light and that's all there is to it. The light is nice and secure in there.

Again, you have the open back for easy access to the wiring. That going to do it for today's review of part number A70GB. This is the Optronics Rubber Grommet for 6 1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights. .

Didn't fit the holes in my trailer, although LED lights fit and were same size as original. Measure the cut out in your trailer before ordering. Product was fine but my assumption was it was a standard size.
My fault - they will go in the trash now.

I just had the same experience, needed a thicker or bigger gasket, even trailer manufacturer confirmed this issue, not sure where to get the thicker gasket from? Like You, I thought these were all the same size, the lights to go into the gaskets are...but not the gaskets?

Do you have the part number from the old gasket? Should be molded on it somewhere. That may help shed some light.

This is a really nice quality grommet that works perfectly with the Optronics series of lights. You cannot beat the price on these - it makes reusing the old ones silly because you will inevitably tear, stretch or otherwise destroy the old ones taking the lights out.

Its a rubber grommet. It holds the light in nice and tight. Not much else to say besides they're priced cheap and a whole lot better than the sun rotten ones I just threw away. Not quite as thick as the original, but who cares,its $0.95 and works!

Just what I needed. My old lights and grommets were original (1989) and the rubber was all dried out. These fit the new lights and into the frame of my boat trailer with no problem.

The easiest way to cut the oval hole for the Rubber Grommet, # a70gb, in my opinion, would be to use a Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, BK70BB, as a template and then use a hole saw the correct size to cut a hole on each end of the mounting location. Then, use a angle grinder with cut off wheel or a reciprocating saw with metal cutting blade to cut the straight top and bottom sides of the hole.
The correct width for the grommet is 2-5/8 inches, but I have found...view full answer...

It sounds like your trailer has the 6-1/2 inch Oval stop turn and tail lamps and some side marker lamps that use a rubber grommet like the 6-1/2 inch oval tail lights grommet, # A70GB.
Since the area where your lights are mounted is not accessible from the back side, you will need to pry the light out of the front of the grommet with a small screwdriver or other similar tool. If you could find a plastic pry tool that might work better and keep you from damaging the rubber grommet. Another...view full answer...

In order to add reverse lights to a trailer would would need to have a 7-Way on the trailer, like # 50-67-008, and a 7-Way on the vehicle. On the vehicle side, if you are looking at the back of the 7-Way where the wires connect, the reverse light circuit is the center pin. It will need to connect to a reverse light wire behind one of the vehicle tail lights.
On the trailer side the matching pin is again the center pin. So from that pin, you would route wire to reverse lights. Reverse...view full answer...

I would use the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, item # BUL72CB, along with the Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Tail Lights, item # A70GB, and the Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, Steel - Black Powder Coat, item # BK70BB. These items should work for you and have a specific mounting bracket that is not available for the Thinline Sealed LED Utility Light, item # UCL65CB.

Yes, the J-60 light is a 6-1/2 inch wide by 2-1/4 inch tall light that is 2-1/4 inches deep overall so the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 3-Function, item # ST70RB, is a direct replacement for your light.
If you need a replacement grommet for the light you can use the Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Tail Lights, item # A70GB, and if you need to wire the light or replace the connector you can use the right angle pigtail, item # A47PB, or the straight...view full answer...

Yes, the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 3-Function, item # ST70RB, should be the correct replacement for your Truck-Lite 60 taillight.
The replacement grommet for this light is the Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Tail Lights, item # A70GB.
If you would like to upgrade to LED lights then you could use the Miro-Flex, Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval, LED Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light, 3-Function, 12 Diode, item # STL22RB, with the grommet mentioned above.view full answer...

I went out to the warehouse and pulled a # BK70BB bracket, a 6 inch oval tail light and the A70GB grommet.
I found that it is much easier to install everything if you push the grommet fully into the bracket until it is fully seated and then push the light into the grommet until it bottoms out. At that point, you will have a fit tight enough that the lamp is securely held in place.view full answer...

As long as the trailer hitch on your Four Winds motorhome has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity, you will be able to haul your Yamaha WR250R motorcycle, however, the Rage PowerSort Motorcycle Carrier, # MX600, that you referenced is not recommended for use behind a motorhome.
Instead, I recommend looking at the Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier, # UF48-979033. This carrier only weighs approximately 50 lbs, has a weight capacity of 500 lbs, and is approved for use behind motorhomes. The total...view full answer...

I went out to the warehouse and checked all of our clear oval lights. The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch LED Clear Oval Trailer Utility Light, 10 Diode, item # BUL72CB, whiter light than the light emitted by the incandescent Oval Trailer Back Up Light, item # BU70CB, but the light does not illuminate as large an area as well. The advantages of the LED light is that it does not draw near as much amperage as the incandescent light, it lasts much longer and it does not produce the heat produced by incandescent...view full answer...

You will need four each of the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 48 Diode, item # STL70RB, Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Tail Lights, item # A70GB, and either the Straight 3-Wire Pigtail, item # A45PB or the Right Angle 3-Wire Pigtail, item # A47PB. This is an exact replacement so your grommets will work with the light if they are not damaged or hardened from exposure to the elements.view full answer...

I would recommend the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 10 Super Diode, item # STL72RB, for both the truck bed and the trailer. To mount these lights you will need a Trailer Light Mounting Bracket for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, item # BK70BB, and a Rubber Grommet, item # A70GB.

The # STL22CCRB lamp you referred to is typically mounted in a grommet, like part # A70GB, which in turn is mounted in a bracket like part # MNT-651SS. If you were planning on cutting a hole to mount the lamp and grommet, the hole will need to measure 6-3/4 by 2-1/2 inches, as you can see in the diagram I provided.
The easiest way to cut the hole would be to use a 2-1/2 inch hole saw, and cut two holes 6-3/4 inches apart (measured outside-to-outside). You could then use snips or a rotary...view full answer...

If your trailer has flush mount lights like the Optronics Sealed Oval LED Tail Light, # STL70RB, then I have two ways for you to remove your old taillights from your Haulmark Cargo Trailer. These taillights are sealed, therefore, you need to change the entire assembly, not just the bulbs inside.
If you have access to the backside of the light from the inside of your cargo trailer and your lights are hardwired, then you need to cut the wires close to the old taillight and gently push...view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at Optronics and he informed me that this Optronics Trailer Light, part # BUL78C3MB, is certified to be used as a utility light for a trailer but not as a reverse light.
He said that if you were to use this as a reverse light he would recommend that you contact your state and local laws to determine if that would be an issue for passing inspections. He also said that these lights will not be as bright as most reverse lights normally are.

The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, Flange Mount, 10 Super Diode - Clear, item # BUL78CB, does not meet DOT FMVSS 108 requirements, for backup lights so it cannot be sold as a backup light. That does not mean that the light cannot be used in that situation for applications where a DOT requirement does not need to be met.
In short, the Trailer Utility Light, item # BUL78CB, can be used as a backup light, but if your trailer needs to meet DOT requirements you will need...view full answer...

You will want to measure your existing oval lights to make sure they will match up to the dimensions on the Optronics lights.
The Optronics LED Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light, part # STL22RB, will work as a LED replacement for the Optronics Oval Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light, part # ST70RB.

The replacement light you would need to replace your model 60 light is the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 48 Diode, item # STL70RB.
The Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 10 Super Diode, item # STL72RB, is just a bit small on the width and a bit large on the height to properly fit in the grommet for the model 60, but may work if you would like to try it. view full answer...

The Optronics 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Lights, item # STL22RB, can be bolted on with the addition of a trailer light mounting bracket. These brackets are available in black powder coat, item # BK70BB, and stainless steel, item # MNT-651SS. There is also a stainless steel double mounting bracket available, item # MNT-652SS.
Along with the mounting brackets you will need rubber grommets, item # A70GB to secure the lights in the oval openings.
Finally you will need a pigtail connector...view full answer...

To meet DOT standards you will need to have both a left side and right side blinker on your motorcycle trailer. The LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light, item # STL69RRXB, is not separated so that the left side of the light and right side of the light can blink separately, so you will need two of these lights to complete your lighting setup.

We do not have a chrome bezel for the 6-1/2 inch Oval, LED Trailer Stop/Turn/Tail Light, # STL22RCB. But there is a Stainless Steel Mounting bracket, # MNT-651SS, that can be used for mounting the light. If you need two lights on each side the Double Mount Bracket, # MNT-652SS, would work for you.
You will also need a grommet, # A70GB, and a straight, # A45PB or right angle, # A47PB, pigtail harness for installation and wiring of the light.

I went out into our warehouse and measured one of our Rubber Grommet for 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Light, # A70GB, that we have in stock.
From the measurements I took, you will have to cut a hole that is 6-11/16 inches long and 2-5/8 inches tall.

When drilling holes for the trailer lights, # STL22RCB, you can use a 2-1/2 inch hole saw and then use a file or rotary tool to enlarge the holes to the 2-5/8 inches needed for the rubber grommet , # a70gb. When you do drill the holes, make sure that the outside edge of each hole is 6-3/4 inches apart for the overall length of the light.

The light that you have referenced, # BUL10CB, fits the criteria that you have mentioned. If mounted horizontally, it is only 2-1/4 inches tall and 6-7/16 inches side to side. It is flush mount (use grommet # a70gb). The lights are LED and as such they are brighter than incandescent lights. They are also categorized as submersible.
You will also need a wiring harness, # A49PB, to connect to the light. The light itself is submersible but the wiring connections will need some attention...view full answer...

The Optronics # STL572RB Sealed LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light is sold as a single piece, not a pair.
For complete installation you will require the corresponding rubber grommet, part # a70gb, which provides protection from mechanical stress, and the mounting bracket, part # BK70BB. Please note that in an existing 2 inch by 6-11/16 inch opening the grommet can be used to mount the light; if not the bracket can be used.

I have attached a video demonstrating the brightness of the Optronics LED Backup Light, # BUL22CB, for you to check out. This light is waterproof and will work well on your boat trailer as a reverse light.
Along with this light, you will want the Two Wire Pigtail, # A49PB. The end of this plug is molded rubber that, along with dialectic grease, will help seal the plug from water and moisture.
To attach this light to your trailer, you will need the grommet, # A70gb. If you will not...view full answer...

For an LED light, the more diodes the brighter it will be. The Single-Face LED Parking/Turn Signal Light, # STL90AB, has 31 large diodes which is among the highest so it should be bright enough for you.
Another option is the LED Trailer Turn Signal and Parking Light, # STL70AB, which is a 6-1/2 inch oval. It has 48 smaller diodes. For this light you would also nee a pig tail, # A46PB, and a grommet, # a70gb.view full answer...

Yes. The M421KR is a Petersen part and the Optronics equivalent is the Sealed, 6-1/2 inch Oval Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, 3-Function, # ST70RB, that you have referenced. For a complete set up, you will need Rubber Grommet # A70GB, and Straight 3-Wire Pigtail, # A45PB.view full answer...

Yes, the Optronics Trailer Light, # STL70RB, will replace the Wesbar 203561 to upgrade to LED lights.
You will want to check the factory grommet when you remove the light, if the factory grommet is in good condition you can use it with the LED upgrade. If the factory grommet is worn or shows any signs of damage, now is the time to replace it. You would use the Optronics Rubber Grommet, # A70GB.

Led light # BUL72CB is not certified as use as a backup light. For an LED light that is designed for use as a backup use # BUL10CB. You will also need grommet # a70gb and wiring pigtail # A49PB. For wire you can use # 16-3B-1 sold in 1 foot increments. You will need to wire in the power wire to the reverse light circuit on the 7-Way. For the lights to work you have to have a functioning reverse light circuit on the vehicle side 7-Way.view full answer...

I have attached a link to all of our oval trailer lights for you. Most 6 inch oval lights are actually 6-1/2 inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your trailer lights to make sure you choose a replacement light with the same dimensions as your tail lights. We do not have oval tail lights that are exactly 6 inches long, but you could enlarge the cutouts on your trailer to accommodate the standard 6-1/2 inch lights.
